A Strange Infataa,ion

The newspapers are full of gossip about
the case of a Chicago girl who wants to
marry one of the anarchists who is in Jail
under sentence Of death for participating
in the mountaineering attack ON the police
last summer, The girls name is Van Zandt
She is the daughter of chemist of good
standing socially aud otherwise, is 20 years
old and a graduate Of Vassar Her mothers
only sister, Mrs. Arthur of Pittsburg, Pa. ,
is worth nearly half million dollars, and
until now has intended to leave her money
to her niece, The object of the girls in
fatuaton is August Spies, whom she first
saw four years ago in newspaper Office to
which she went to carry an advertisement
He was handsome and striking in his looks,
and, while she did not even know his name,
she always afterward recognized him by
bowling when she met him in the street.
The judge who presided at the trial of the
anarchists asked the Van Zandts 10 attend
the trial one day. They did so, and Miss
Van Landt was surprised to find her chow
ing acquaintance" in the prisoners dock
Instead Of repelling her, this only increased
or aroused her infatuation for him, and since
his conviction she has regularly visited Spies
in Jail and there has engaged to marry him

There is post office war at Summerville,
"A suburb Of st. Johnsbury, which apparent

present Republican incumbent and has re
suited in quarrel among the Democrats AS

glory of his office as a would-be boss, who,
to illustrate the consistency of Democratic
civil-service reform pretensions, is booked
for salary of Sll day as superintendent
of the construction Of the new government
building at Montpelier. The Caledonian
says that, "simmered down, Mr.. Atkins's
position is that the Democrats must have
the offices, and his influence will be used to
bring about such result in this case, de
spite the fact that large numbers of Demo
Gratis express themselves AS perfectly salts

Caledonian also says

ministration at Washington declares thai

that the Democrats must have the offices

The DepOsed Priest.

Last Sunday was an exciting one in the
history of st. Stephens Roman Catholic
church in New York. The news had gone
abroad that the Rev. DIR. McGlynn had been
deposed from the passionate, and that the
Rev. Father Donnelly had been appointed
in his place. This brought great crowds
of people to the several services As the
tumult of disapproval of the archbishop's
action and of sympathy for Father McGlynn.
In the evening an indignation meeting was
held in the basement of the church, and on
Monday evening an excited mass meeting
was held, when formal expression was given
TO the intense feeling of the congregation,
for the people of the parish do not look on
DR.. McGlynn as an offender against church
doctrine and discipline, but as a pastor of
unflagging zeal and unstained life. The
most influential of his friends beg him to
submit his case to the propaganda at Rome,
confident of his triumphant justification
1t is repeatedly said, and as often denied,
that he has decided to obey the Pope's order
TO go to Rome; but even if he means TO go,
he cannot do so at present, for the excite
ment has been too much for him, and he is
completely Frustrated and sick in bed at the
house of sister in the city.
The impression now prevails in New York
that an order has been received from the
Pope this week unfrocking Father McGlynn.
If this is true his priestly functions have
been taken away from him forever, and he
is no longer priest of the Catholic church,
nor can he ever he reinstated This ex-
IRENE action is said to have been taken be-
cause Of Father McGlynn's refusal to go to
Rome when ordered to do So

Another chapter of the same story.

On Tuesday both houses Of the Indiana
legislature voted for senator, as the law re
duires, Turpen, Democrat, receiving 81
votes in the Senate and Harrison 49, In the
House Turpen had AZ, Harrison 3d. and j.
II. Allen labor candidate, votes. During
the night compromise was fixed up, so
that only one Joint convention should be
held on Wednesday, instead of two as the
Democrats were bound there should he un-
less they could have their own way and
they seem to have carried their point sub
stantially. The terms of the compromise
were that the Senate should come into the
House, accompanied only by its clerk and
doorkeeper and without any show of vio-
lence Col Robertson should in no way APP
pear in the proceedings. Green Smith, the
presiding officer of the Senate, should call
| the convention to order; but, in the inter
est of harmony, Speaker Sayre should pre-
side Any member whose name was on
the roll-cal of either house on Tuesday
should be allowed to vote, but the right to
enter protests against any vote was reserv-
ed to both sides This compromise amount
ed to a back-down on the part of the Re
publicans, and was arranged by one or two
men who assumed to act for the party and
did so without consultation with Senator
Harrison, or with Col. Robertson, who claims
to be the Legitimate acknowledgements and
who was thus completely ignored. To ex-
cuse their action the Republicans say that
the Democrats would have resorted to VIC.
lence if opposed, and that the question a.
to who is elected senator will have to be
decided by the United States Senate itself
The joint convention of Wednesday wa,
made up and presided over as agreed in tn,
compromise. The ballot taken showed 4
votes for Turpen, II for Harrison and fou
